Hi Dan and all,
ftp seems to be broken on my v7beta4 system. I have posted queries about it in various places to no avail. I am not expecting a miracle answer here, just hoping someone can help me figure out how to fix it.
Also, I am not sure whether this is related to the problem I am having trying to download distribution sets with systinstall, hence this separate message.
Here is what happens when I try to install a package remotely with pkg_add:
$ sudo pkg_add -vr rtorrent
scheme: [ftp]
user: []
password: []
host: [ftp.freebsd.org]
port: [0]
document: [/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/Latest/rtorrent.tbz]
---> ftp.freebsd.org:21
looking up ftp.freebsd.org

Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/Latest/rtorrent.tbz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/Latest/rtorrent.tbz'
by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed
The package really is there; I can copy and paste the URL from the screen to grab it with wget, curl or fetch:
wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/Latest/rtorrent.tbz
FWIW, I am running PF, but I am not fitering any outgoing traffic:
pass out all flags S/SA keep state
Someone suggested to me that this need env var needs to be set:
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE
but it doesn't seem to affect things.
Also, what does this mean?
550 Cannot connect to 78.27.XX.XXX:53572
That is indeed my IP number, which I have partially masked.
I would really appreciatate any suggestions or ideas...
